Seven Teams Advance to Pitch Day Finals

On Tuesday November 15th, BBI held the Elimination Round of its annual business plan competition. Seventeen remaining teams presented their seven minute pitches and were then questioned by the judges for two additional minutes. Judges selected which teams would advance to the final round of the Pitch Day Competition on December 13th. This year’s finalists represent all three institutions of the Tri-Institution and are listed below, with the inventing institution’s licensing office or individual in parentheses:

Teams will revise their pitches based off feedback from mentor judges and BBI TAs in preparation for December 13th. Two teams that will certainly have an advantage going into the final competition are the winners of this year’s Yaniv Sneor, and Kevin FitzGerald Consultation prizes. The winners of these prizes that will be competing in the final round of pitches are:

The remainder of this year’s prizes will be announced after the final round of pitches on December 13th. In previous competitions the winner of the Pitch Day competition showed major improvements in their pitches between the Elimination and Final Rounds, so we expect this year’s contest to be wide open, and wish all of the competing teams the best of luck moving forward.

We would like to give a special thanks to all of our gracious mentors for their time.
